Beckham was in awful shape when he was brought into the Animal Emergency Clinic. He had stones blocking his urinary tract, and so much time had elapsed that he was going into shock. His family left him to be euthanized, and HUA was called to help. Beckham had surgery not only to relieve his existing condition but also to take steps to make sure it would not happen again. He eats a special diet, also, to prevent future stones from forming. He is such a happy little guy who loves life. No one would guess he had been through such a horrible experience.
